Tse Chin-wan

Tse Chin-wan is the Secretary for Environment and Ecology in the Hong Kong government. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement in several environmental and policy initiatives. Recent developments include his announcement of potential pilot schemes for campsite booking to address overcrowding and littering in country parks, particularly around holidays. He is also overseeing the development of a new pet-friendly policy that may allow dogs in restaurants, with initial considerations including a limit of two dogs per diner and prioritizing larger premises. He has indicated that the first dog-friendly restaurants are expected to be approved by mid-2026. His work is significant as it reflects Hong Kong's efforts to balance environmental protection, public convenience, and economic opportunities related to the growing "pet economy."
